Description
本発明は、内容物を収容する収容部を有する収容体、および、当該収容体を管理する管理システムにおけるアクセス制限方法、に関する。
The present invention relates to a container having a storage section for storing contents, and to an access restriction method in a management system for managing the container.
飲料や薬品などの製品は、製造、流通、および消費等の場において、何らかの収容体に収容された状態で取り扱われる。近年、工業的に大量生産される製品の各個体を管理しうる手段について、種々検討されている。
Products such as beverages and medicines are handled in some sort of container during manufacturing, distribution, and consumption. In recent years, various methods have been considered for managing each individual product that is mass-produced industrially.
たとえば、特表2020-527891号公報(特許文献1)には、データ送信可能な回路がキャップに取り付けられた飲料容器が開示されている。特許文献1の飲料容器は、開封されたときのみデータ送信できるように構成されている。なお、トレーサビリティを実現するために容器に電子機器を備え付ける技術は、特開2010-30680号公報(特許文献2)および国際公開第2018/158864号(特許文献3)にも見られる。
For example, JP2020-527891A (Patent Document 1) discloses a beverage container with a circuit capable of transmitting data attached to the cap. The beverage container in Patent Document 1 is configured so that data can be transmitted only when the container is opened. Note that technology for attaching electronic devices to containers to achieve traceability can also be found in JP2010-30680A (Patent Document 2) and WO2018/158864 (Patent Document 3).
しかし、収容体に電子機器を備え付けることは、コスト増を招きうる。従来の収容体に比べて、電子機器自体が追加的要素であることに加え、当該電子機器を収容体に装着する作業も追加的であるためである。また、収容体の流通過程において電子機器が破損した場合に、期待する機能を発揮できない場合があった。
However, attaching electronic devices to a housing can lead to increased costs. This is because, compared to conventional housings, not only is the electronic device itself an additional element, but the work of attaching the electronic device to the housing is also an additional step. Furthermore, if the electronic device is damaged during the distribution process of the housing, it may not be able to perform the expected function.
そこで、より簡便な方法で各個体を管理しうる収容体、および、当該収容体を管理する管理システムにおけるアクセス制限方法の実現が求められる。
Therefore, there is a need for a container that can manage each individual in a simpler way, and for a method of restricting access to the management system that manages the container.
本発明に係る収容体は、内容物を収容する収容部を有し、管理システム上における個体識別情報が付されている収容体であって、前記管理システムが、管理対象の収容体のそれぞれについて、当該収容体の管理者のみがアクセス可能な管理者用情報と、全ての使用者がアクセス可能な一般情報と、を含む収容体情報を保持し、前記個体識別情報は、当該個体識別情報が所定の情報端末によって読み取られたときに、当該情報端末を、当該個体識別情報によって特定される収容体についての前記収容体情報へのアクセスを可能にするものであり、このとき、当該情報端末によるアクセスが許可される前記収容体情報の範囲が所定の条件に基づいて制限されることを特徴とする。
The container of the present invention has a storage section for storing contents and is assigned individual identification information in a management system, and the management system holds container information for each managed container, including administrator information accessible only to the administrator of the container and general information accessible to all users, and when the individual identification information is read by a specified information terminal, it enables the information terminal to access the container information for the container specified by the individual identification information, and at this time, the range of the container information that the information terminal is permitted to access is limited based on specified conditions.
本発明に係るアクセス制限方法は、内容物を収容する収容部を有する収容体を管理する管理システムであって、管理対象の収容体のそれぞれについて、当該収容体の管理者のみがアクセス可能な管理者用情報と、全ての使用者がアクセス可能な一般情報と、を含む収容体情報を保持する管理システムにおいて、前記収容体情報へのアクセスを制限するアクセス制限方法であって、前記収容体に付されている個体識別情報が所定の情報端末によって読み取られたときに、当該個体識別情報によって特定される収容体についての前記収容体情報へのアクセスを、当該情報端末に実施させるアクセス工程と、前記情報端末によるアクセスを許可する前記収容体情報の範囲を、所定の条件に基づいて制限する制限工程と、を含むことを特徴とする。
The access restriction method according to the present invention is an access restriction method for restricting access to container information in a management system for managing containers having a storage section for storing contents, the management system storing container information for each managed container including administrator information accessible only to the administrator of the container and general information accessible to all users, the method comprising the steps of: when individual identification information attached to the container is read by a specified information terminal, having the information terminal access the container information for the container identified by the individual identification information; and a restriction step of restricting the range of the container information to which the information terminal is permitted to access based on specified conditions.
これらの構成によれば、電子機器などの複雑な構造体を設けることなく、収容体の各個体を識別しうる。また、管理者のみが使用する管理者用情報と、一般に開放される一般情報と、を同一の収容体およびシステムを用いて管理できる。これによって、収容体に収容されている内容物の製造、流通、および消費等の各段階における情報を、個体識別情報に関連づけて一元的に管理しうる。また、これらの情報への手がかりとなる個体識別情報を収容体に付しているので、各情報へのアクセスおよびアクセス制限が容易である。
With these configurations, each individual container can be identified without the need for complex structures such as electronic devices. Furthermore, administrator information used only by the administrator and general information available to the public can be managed using the same container and system. This allows information at each stage of the production, distribution, consumption, etc. of the contents contained in the container to be linked to individual identification information and managed in a centralized manner. Furthermore, because individual identification information that provides a clue to this information is attached to the container, it is easy to access and restrict access to each piece of information.

The
本実施形態では、容器本体2はポリエチレンテレフタレート製であり、無色透明の容器である。容器本体2は、ポリエチレンテレフタレート製のプリフォームを原料とする二軸延伸ブロー成形により得られる。なお、容器本体2を構成する材料は、ポリエチレンテレフタレートに限定されず、たとえば、ポリエチレンやポリプロピレンなどであってもよい。また、当該材料の由来は、石油、植物由来原料、リサイクル原料などでありうる。
In this embodiment, the container body 2 is made of polyethylene terephthalate and is a colorless and transparent container. The container body 2 is obtained by biaxial stretch blow molding using a polyethylene terephthalate preform as a raw material. Note that the material constituting the container body 2 is not limited to polyethylene terephthalate, and may be, for example, polyethylene or polypropylene. Furthermore, the origin of the material may be petroleum, plant-derived raw materials, recycled raw materials, etc.
容器本体2には、ラベル4が貼付されている。図1では、ラベル4がロールラベルである例を図示しているが、これに限定されない。たとえば、ラベル4がシュリンクラベルであってもよい。また、容器本体2にラベル4が貼付されていなくてもよい。
A label 4 is affixed to the container body 2. In FIG. 1, an example in which the label 4 is a roll label is illustrated, but this is not limiting. For example, the label 4 may be a shrink label. Also, the label 4 does not have to be affixed to the container body 2.
本実施形態では、キャップ3は、ポリプロピレン製である。キャップ3は、ポリプロピレンを原料とする射出成形により得られる。なお、キャップ3を構成する材料は、ポリプロピレンに限定されず、たとえば、ポリエチレンなどであってもよい。また、当該材料の由来は、石油、植物由来原料、リサイクル原料などでありうる。
In this embodiment, the cap 3 is made of polypropylene. The cap 3 is obtained by injection molding using polypropylene as a raw material. Note that the material constituting the cap 3 is not limited to polypropylene, and may be, for example, polyethylene. The origin of the material may be petroleum, plant-derived raw materials, recycled raw materials, etc.
キャップ3の天面に、二次元コード5が印刷されている。二次元コード5は、飲料製品1を管理する商品管理システム10(後述する。)において、管理対象の飲料製品1のそれぞれを個体識別するためのユニークID(個体識別情報の例である。)に関連付けられている。すなわち、キャップ3の天面にユニークIDが二次元コード5の態様で付されている。ユニークIDはそれぞれの飲料製品1の個体に対して一対一対応の関係で付され、重複することがない。
A two-dimensional code 5 is printed on the top surface of the cap 3. The two-dimensional code 5 is associated with a unique ID (an example of individual identification information) for individually identifying each managed beverage product 1 in a product management system 10 (described later) that manages the beverage products 1. That is, the unique ID is attached to the top surface of the cap 3 in the form of a two-dimensional code 5. The unique ID is attached in a one-to-one correspondence to each individual beverage product 1, and there will be no duplication.
本実施形態に係る飲料製品1を一例として理解されるように、本発明における収容体とは、製品が製造、流通、および消費等に供される際に当該製品の付加価値の中心にある内容物(本実施形態では飲料である。)を収容して、製造、流通、および消費等の場における取扱いを可能にするために供されるものをいう。したがって本発明における収容体とは、物品を収容する収容部のみならず、当該収容部に付随して一体に使用される付随物も含む概念である。本実施形態における付随物としては、容器本体2を封止するキャップ3、容器本体2やキャップ3などに付されるラベル、タグ、ステッカーなど、キャップ3により封止された容器本体2を収容する化粧箱、といった物品が例示される。なお、本発明における収容体は、内容物の有無を問わない。
As understood by taking the beverage product 1 according to this embodiment as an example, the container in this invention refers to an object that is provided to contain the contents (which in this embodiment is a beverage) that are at the center of the added value of the product when the product is manufactured, distributed, consumed, etc., and to enable handling at the points of manufacture, distribution, consumption, etc. Therefore, the container in this invention is a concept that includes not only a storage section that contains an item, but also accessories that are attached to the storage section and used as an integral part. Examples of accessories in this embodiment include items such as the cap 3 that seals the container body 2, labels, tags, stickers, etc. that are attached to the container body 2 and cap 3, and a presentation box that contains the container body 2 sealed by the cap 3. It should be noted that the container in this invention may or may not contain contents.
(商品管理システムの構成)
本実施形態に係る商品管理システム10(管理システムの一例である。)(図2)は、飲料製品1に関与する供給者、流通業者、小売業者、および消費者、ならびにその他の者がアクセス可能なシステムであり、飲料製品1に係る種々の情報が当該システム上で一元的に管理される。商品管理システム10において、飲料製品1の各個体に係る情報は、各個体に付されたユニークIDを主キーとするリレーショナルデータベース11(以下、単にデータベース11と称する。)として保持されている。飲料製品1の各個体のユニークIDは、前述のように、二次元コード5として飲料製品1のキャップ3の天面に印刷されている。 (Product management system configuration)
A product management system 10 (one example of a management system) according to this embodiment (FIG. 2) is a system accessible to suppliers, distributors, retailers, consumers, and others involved in thebeverage product 1, and various information related to the beverage product 1 is managed in an integrated manner on the system. In the product management system 10, information related to each individual beverage product 1 is held in a relational database 11 (hereinafter simply referred to as database 11) in which a unique ID assigned to each individual beverage product 1 is used as a primary key. As described above, the unique ID of each individual beverage product 1 is printed as a two-dimensional code 5 on the top surface of the cap 3 of the beverage product 1.
本実施形態に係る商品管理システム10(管理システムの一例である。)(図2)は、飲料製品1に関与する供給者、流通業者、小売業者、および消費者、ならびにその他の者がアクセス可能なシステムであり、飲料製品1に係る種々の情報が当該システム上で一元的に管理される。商品管理システム10において、飲料製品1の各個体に係る情報は、各個体に付されたユニークIDを主キーとするリレーショナルデータベース11(以下、単にデータベース11と称する。)として保持されている。飲料製品1の各個体のユニークIDは、前述のように、二次元コード5として飲料製品1のキャップ3の天面に印刷されている。 (Product management system configuration)
A product management system 10 (one example of a management system) according to this embodiment (FIG. 2) is a system accessible to suppliers, distributors, retailers, consumers, and others involved in the
商品管理システム10は、データベース11に、管理対象の飲料製品1のそれぞれについての商品情報12(収容体情報の一例である。)を保持している。商品情報12は、飲料製品1の供給者のみがアクセス可能な供給者用情報12a(管理者用情報の一例である。)と、特定の条件を満たす消費者のみがアクセス可能な特定消費者用情報12bと、全ての使用者がアクセス可能な一般情報12cと、を含む。なお、商品管理システム10のハードウェア構成は、典型的には一般的なサーバ型コンピュータでありうるが、以下に説明する機能を実現できる限りで限定されない。
The product management system 10 holds product information 12 (an example of container information) for each of the beverage products 1 to be managed in a database 11. The product information 12 includes supplier information 12a (an example of administrator information) accessible only to the supplier of the beverage product 1, specific consumer information 12b accessible only to consumers who satisfy certain conditions, and general information 12c accessible to all users. The hardware configuration of the product management system 10 can typically be a general server-type computer, but is not limited thereto as long as it can realize the functions described below.
供給者用情報12aは、飲料製品1の供給者が内部的に利用する情報であり、たとえば生産に関する情報や流通に関する情報などである。供給者用情報12aへのアクセスは、供給者、すなわち供給者の従業員およびこれに準ずる関係者(物流関係者などである。)のみに限定される。
The supplier information 12a is information used internally by the supplier of the beverage product 1, such as information about production and distribution. Access to the supplier information 12a is limited to the supplier, i.e., the supplier's employees and related parties equivalent thereto (such as those involved in logistics).
供給者用情報12aは、たとえば、飲料製品1の内容物を特定する情報(製品名、成分名、レシピ名、製造年月日、賞味期限、消費期限など)、飲料製品1の製造場所を特定する情報(工場名、製造ライン名、製造ロット番号、製造担当者名、など)、飲料製品1の原材料を特定する情報(原材料名、原材料供給元名、原材料ロット番号、原材料受入日時など)、飲料製品1の製造条件を特定する情報(製造時の圧力、製造時の温度、充填ヘッド番号、通過時間など)、飲料製品1の品質を特定する情報(検査値、検査画像、検査担当者名、など)、および、飲料製品1の流通状況を特定する情報(受払場所、受払タイミング、車両番号、パレット番号など)、を含む。
The supplier information 12a includes, for example, information identifying the contents of the beverage product 1 (product name, ingredient names, recipe name, production date, best before date, expiration date, etc.), information identifying the production location of the beverage product 1 (factory name, production line name, production lot number, name of production staff, etc.), information identifying the raw materials of the beverage product 1 (raw material name, name of raw material supplier, raw material lot number, date and time of raw material receipt, etc.), information identifying the production conditions of the beverage product 1 (pressure during production, temperature during production, filling head number, transit time, etc.), information identifying the quality of the beverage product 1 (test values, test images, name of inspection staff, etc.), and information identifying the distribution status of the beverage product 1 (delivery location, delivery timing, vehicle number, pallet number, etc.).
特定消費者用情報12bは、特定の条件を満たす消費者がアクセス可能な情報である。たとえば、消費者個人に固有のユーザーIDを付し、飲料製品1の各個体を購入した消費者のユーザーIDと当該個体のユニークIDとを紐づけておき、各消費者が、自身のユーザーIDに紐づけられている飲料製品1の個体についてのみ、購入日や購入場所等を確認できるようにしてもよい。この場合、供給者側では、消費者ごとの購入履歴を把握できる。
Specific consumer information 12b is information that can be accessed by consumers who meet certain conditions. For example, a unique user ID may be assigned to each individual consumer, and the user ID of the consumer who purchased each individual beverage product 1 may be linked to the unique ID of that individual beverage product, so that each consumer may check the purchase date, purchase location, etc. only for the individual beverage product 1 linked to their own user ID. In this case, the supplier may be able to keep track of the purchase history of each consumer.
また、たとえば、飲料製品1の入手経路に係る条件(地域、時期、小売店など)を設定しておき、当該条件を満たす消費者がアクセス可能な販促キャンペーン情報を提供すれば、地域限定、時期限定、小売店限定などのターゲティングを施した販促キャンペーンを展開できる。この場合の、限定的に提供される販促キャンペーン情報は、特定消費者用情報12bの一例である。
Furthermore, for example, by setting conditions (region, time, retail store, etc.) related to the acquisition route of beverage product 1 and providing promotional campaign information accessible to consumers who satisfy the conditions, it is possible to develop a promotional campaign that is targeted to a specific region, time, retail store, etc. In this case, the promotional campaign information provided in a limited manner is an example of specific consumer information 12b.
さらに、上記に供給者用情報12aの例として挙げた情報の一部について、消費者が購入した飲料製品1の個体に限りアクセス可能にする運用も可能である。これらの例における購入履歴、および、供給者用情報12aのアクセス可能にされる一部は、特定消費者用情報12bの一例である。たとえば、消費者から供給者に対して飲料製品1の品質等についての問合せがなされた場合に、その特定の消費者に対して問合せの対象である飲料製品1の個体について、原材料、製造条件、および品質を特定する各情報の一部または全部へのアクセスを許可して、当該個体が正常に製造されたことを説明する一助としてもよい。この場合は、ユーザーIDと、当該ユーザーIDを有する消費者に情報へのアクセスを許可する飲料製品1のユニークIDと、の関連付けを、供給者側で設定すればよい。
Furthermore, it is also possible to allow some of the information given above as examples of supplier information 12a to be accessible only to the individual beverage product 1 purchased by the consumer. The purchase history and the accessible part of supplier information 12a in these examples are examples of specific consumer information 12b. For example, when a consumer inquires about the quality of a beverage product 1 to a supplier, the specific consumer may be allowed to access some or all of the information specifying the ingredients, manufacturing conditions, and quality of the individual beverage product 1 that is the subject of the inquiry, to help explain that the individual beverage product was manufactured normally. In this case, the supplier may set up an association between a user ID and a unique ID of the beverage product 1 that is allowed to be accessed by the consumer who has that user ID.
すなわち、特定消費者用情報12bの例として、特定の消費者が購入した飲料製品1の購入履歴に関する情報、特定の条件を満たす消費者を対象とする販促キャンペーン情報、および、特定の消費者に対して限定的に開示する供給者用情報12aの一部、が挙げられる。
In other words, examples of specific consumer information 12b include information on the purchase history of beverage products 1 purchased by a specific consumer, promotional campaign information targeted at consumers who meet certain conditions, and a portion of supplier information 12a that is disclosed only to a specific consumer.
一般情報12cは、全ての使用者がアクセス可能な情報であり、飲料製品1を紹介するウェブサイトや、限定条件を設けない販促キャンペーンに関する情報、などが例示される。また、上記に供給者用情報12aの例として挙げた、飲料製品1の内容物を特定する情報(製品名、成分名、レシピ名、製造年月日、賞味期限、消費期限など)、飲料製品1の製造場所を特定する情報(工場名、製造ライン名、製造ロット番号、製造担当者名、など)、飲料製品1の原材料を特定する情報(原材料名、原材料供給元名、原材料ロット番号、原材料受入日時など)、飲料製品1の製造条件を特定する情報(製造時の圧力、製造時の温度、充填ヘッド番号、通過時間など)、飲料製品1の品質を特定する情報(検査値、検査画像、検査担当者名、など)、および、飲料製品1の流通状況を特定する情報(受払場所、受払タイミング、車両番号、パレット番号など)、の一部を、一般情報12cとして取り扱ってもよい。たとえば原材料名、賞味期限、工場名などは、ラベル4に印刷する形で従来全ての使用者に公開されている情報であるから、これを一般情報12cとして取り扱うことに差し支えはない。
General information 12c is information accessible to all users, and examples include information about a website introducing beverage product 1 and information about a promotional campaign with no restrictions. In addition, some of the information identifying the contents of beverage product 1 (product name, ingredient name, recipe name, production date, best-before date, best-before date, etc.), information identifying the production location of beverage product 1 (factory name, production line name, production lot number, name of person in charge of production, etc.), information identifying the raw materials of beverage product 1 (raw material name, name of raw material supplier, raw material lot number, date and time of receipt of raw materials, etc.), information identifying the production conditions of beverage product 1 (pressure during production, temperature during production, filling head number, transit time, etc.), information identifying the quality of beverage product 1 (test value, test image, name of person in charge of inspection, etc.), and information identifying the distribution status of beverage product 1 (delivery location, delivery timing, vehicle number, pallet number, etc.), which are given as examples of supplier information 12a above, may be treated as general information 12c. For example, the names of ingredients, expiration date, and factory name are information that has traditionally been made public to all users by being printed on the label 4, so there is no problem in treating this as general information 12c.
なお、供給者用情報12a、特定消費者用情報12b、および一般情報12cのいずれについても、データベース11に直接的に格納されていてもよいし、間接的に格納されていてもよい。たとえば、販促キャンペーンに関する情報自体をデータベース11に格納する替わりに、当該情報を掲載したウェブサイトのURLがデータベース11に格納されていて、データベース11にアクセスした使用者が当該URLに接続できるようにした構成は、一般情報12cが間接的にデータベース11に格納されている一例である。
All of the supplier information 12a, the specific consumer information 12b, and the general information 12c may be stored directly or indirectly in the database 11. For example, instead of storing the information about a promotional campaign itself in the database 11, the URL of a website that contains that information is stored in the database 11, and a user who has access to the database 11 can connect to that URL. This is an example of general information 12c being indirectly stored in the database 11.
商品情報12の以上の構成によれば、飲料製品1の製造段階、流通段階、および消費段階における情報を、飲料製品1の各個体のユニークIDに関連付けて一元的に管理しうる。また、ユニークIDを二次元コード5の態様で飲料製品1に付してあるので、各情報へのアクセスが容易である。
The above-described configuration of the product information 12 allows information on the manufacturing, distribution, and consumption stages of the beverage product 1 to be managed in a centralized manner by linking it to the unique ID of each individual beverage product 1. In addition, since the unique ID is attached to the beverage product 1 in the form of a two-dimensional code 5, each piece of information can be easily accessed.
所定の情報端末20(スマートフォン、タブレット端末、および専用端末などである。)によって二次元コード5を読み取ると、インターネットNを介して、当該情報端末20によるデータベース11へのアクセスが可能になる。このときアクセス可能になるのは、データベース11に保持されている商品情報12のうち、読み取られた二次元コード5に関連付けられているユニークIDによって特定される飲料製品1の個体についての商品情報12である。
When the two-dimensional code 5 is read by a specific information terminal 20 (such as a smartphone, tablet terminal, or dedicated terminal), the information terminal 20 can access the database 11 via the Internet N. At this time, the product information 12 that can be accessed is, of the product information 12 stored in the database 11, the product information 12 about the individual beverage product 1 identified by the unique ID associated with the read two-dimensional code 5.
ここで、情報端末20によるアクセスが許可される商品情報12の範囲は、情報端末20の使用者に基づいて制限される。ここで、商品管理システム10が各使用者の権限を判定する方法は限定されない。たとえば、商品管理システム10にアクセス際に使用者のユーザーIDによる認証を求め、当該ユーザーIDにより特定される使用者の権限に応じた範囲の商品情報12へのアクセスを許可する態様を取りうる。また、管理者側の使用者(管理者の従業員およびこれに準ずる関係者)のみに使用が許可された専用のアプリケーションを介して二次元コード5を読み取った場合にのみ供給者用情報12aへのアクセスが許可され、汎用のアプリケーション(標準の二次元コードリーダーなど)を介したアクセスの際には特定消費者用情報12bおよび一般情報12cへのアクセスを許可するようにしてもよい。
Here, the range of product information 12 that is permitted to be accessed by the information terminal 20 is limited based on the user of the information terminal 20. Here, the method by which the product management system 10 determines the authority of each user is not limited. For example, a mode may be adopted in which authentication by the user ID of the user is required when accessing the product management system 10, and access to the product information 12 is permitted within a range according to the authority of the user specified by the user ID. In addition, access to the supplier information 12a may be permitted only when the two-dimensional code 5 is read via a dedicated application permitted for use only by users on the manager's side (employees of the manager and related parties equivalent thereto), and access to the specific consumer information 12b and the general information 12c may be permitted when access is made via a general-purpose application (such as a standard two-dimensional code reader).

変形例に係る飲料製品1A(図3)は、キャップ3の天面に、二次元コード5に加えて不可視印字6が設けられている点で上記の実施形態と相違する。不可視印字6は、不可視インクを用いて付されており、肉眼では視認できない。不可視インクは所定の波長の紫外光が照射されたときに発光する成分を含み、当該波長の紫外光が照射されているときのみ不可視印字6を読み取ることができる。 (Modification)
Thebeverage product 1A (FIG. 3) according to the modified example differs from the above embodiment in that an invisible print 6 is provided on the top surface of the cap 3 in addition to the two-dimensional code 5. The invisible print 6 is applied using invisible ink and cannot be seen by the naked eye. The invisible ink contains a component that emits light when irradiated with ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength, and the invisible print 6 can be read only when irradiated with ultraviolet light of that wavelength.
変形例に係る飲料製品1A(図3)は、キャップ3の天面に、二次元コード5に加えて不可視印字6が設けられている点で上記の実施形態と相違する。不可視印字6は、不可視インクを用いて付されており、肉眼では視認できない。不可視インクは所定の波長の紫外光が照射されたときに発光する成分を含み、当該波長の紫外光が照射されているときのみ不可視印字6を読み取ることができる。 (Modification)
The
当変形例において、二次元コード5および不可視印字6は、いずれも、情報端末20によって読み取られた際にデータベース11へのアクセスを可能にするものである。また、同一の飲料製品1に付された二次元コード5および不可視印字6は、同一のユニークIDに関連付けられている。ただし当変形例では、二次元コード5によって示される第一情報と、不可視印字6によって示される第二情報と、が異なる情報になっている。
In this modified example, the two-dimensional code 5 and the invisible print 6 both enable access to the database 11 when read by the information terminal 20. Furthermore, the two-dimensional code 5 and the invisible print 6 affixed to the same beverage product 1 are associated with the same unique ID. However, in this modified example, the first information indicated by the two-dimensional code 5 and the second information indicated by the invisible print 6 are different information.
情報端末20によって二次元コード5を読み取った場合には、特定消費者用情報12bおよび一般情報12cへのアクセスが許可される。一方、情報端末20によって不可視印字6を読み取った場合には、供給者用情報12aへのアクセスが許可される。なお、後者の場合は、情報端末20が不可視インクを視認可能にする紫外光を発する発光装置を備えている必要がある。
When the two-dimensional code 5 is read by the information terminal 20, access to the specific consumer information 12b and general information 12c is permitted. On the other hand, when the invisible print 6 is read by the information terminal 20, access to the supplier information 12a is permitted. In the latter case, the information terminal 20 needs to be equipped with a light-emitting device that emits ultraviolet light to make the invisible ink visible.
変形例では、供給者用情報12aを肉眼では視認できないため、供給者用情報12aの存在を元より知っている者(典型的には供給者の従業員等である。)以外は、供給者用情報12aが付されていることに気づきにくい。これによって、供給者用情報12aの存在自体を一般の消費者等に知られにくくしながらも、飲料製品1自体に全ての商品情報12へのアクセスの手がかりを設けることができる。
In the modified example, the supplier information 12a cannot be seen with the naked eye, so that it is difficult for anyone other than those who are already aware of the existence of the supplier information 12a (typically employees of the supplier, etc.) to notice that the supplier information 12a has been attached. This makes it difficult for general consumers, etc. to become aware of the existence of the supplier information 12a, while providing the beverage product 1 itself with a clue to access all of the product information 12.

However, for simplicity, storage containers and tanks will be used as examples in the following explanation.
(管理システムの構成)
本実施形態に係る管理システム30(図4)は、貯蔵酒の製造に関与する製造者(管理者の一例である。)およびその他の者がアクセス可能なシステムであり、貯蔵酒に係る種々の情報が当該システム上で一元的に管理される。管理システム30において、貯蔵容器およびタンクの各個体に係る情報は、各個体に付されたユニークIDを主キーとするリレーショナルデータベース31(以下、単にデータベース31と称する。)として保持されている。貯蔵容器およびタンクの各個体のユニークIDが、二次元コード5として貯蔵容器の天面およびタンクの側面に印刷されている。 (Management system configuration)
The management system 30 (Fig. 4) according to this embodiment is a system that can be accessed by the manufacturer (one example of a manager) and other parties involved in the production of stored sake, and various information related to the stored sake is managed centrally on the system. In themanagement system 30, information related to each storage container and tank is held as a relational database 31 (hereinafter simply referred to as database 31) in which a unique ID assigned to each container and tank is used as a primary key. The unique ID of each storage container and tank is printed as a two-dimensional code 5 on the top of the storage container and on the side of the tank.
本実施形態に係る管理システム30(図4)は、貯蔵酒の製造に関与する製造者(管理者の一例である。)およびその他の者がアクセス可能なシステムであり、貯蔵酒に係る種々の情報が当該システム上で一元的に管理される。管理システム30において、貯蔵容器およびタンクの各個体に係る情報は、各個体に付されたユニークIDを主キーとするリレーショナルデータベース31(以下、単にデータベース31と称する。)として保持されている。貯蔵容器およびタンクの各個体のユニークIDが、二次元コード5として貯蔵容器の天面およびタンクの側面に印刷されている。 (Management system configuration)
The management system 30 (Fig. 4) according to this embodiment is a system that can be accessed by the manufacturer (one example of a manager) and other parties involved in the production of stored sake, and various information related to the stored sake is managed centrally on the system. In the
管理システム30は、データベース31に、管理対象の貯蔵容器およびタンクのそれぞれについての収容体情報32を保持している。収容体情報32は、貯蔵酒の製造者のみがアクセス可能な管理者用情報32aと、全ての使用者がアクセス可能な一般情報32bと、を含む。なお、管理システム30のハードウェア構成は、典型的には一般的なサーバ型コンピュータでありうるが、以下に説明する機能を実現できる限りで限定されない。
The management system 30 holds container information 32 for each of the storage containers and tanks to be managed in a database 31. The container information 32 includes administrator information 32a that is accessible only to the manufacturer of the stored liquor, and general information 32b that is accessible to all users. The hardware configuration of the management system 30 can typically be a general server-type computer, but is not limited thereto as long as it can realize the functions described below.
管理者用情報32aは、貯蔵酒の製造者が内部的に利用する情報であり、たとえば、工場名、製造ライン名、製造担当者名、品質検査の結果、などに関する情報である。管理者用情報32aへのアクセスは、製造者の従業員等に限定される。
Administrative information 32a is information used internally by the manufacturer of stored liquor, such as the factory name, production line name, name of production staff, quality inspection results, etc. Access to administrative information 32a is limited to employees of the manufacturer, etc.
一般情報32bは、製造者の従業員等に該当しない者を含むすべての使用者がアクセス可能な情報であるが、特に製造所における情報提供を目的とする情報である。たとえば、貯蔵容器についての一般情報32bとしては、貯蔵容器やタンクに関する情報(材質や製造年など)、貯蔵容器やタンクに収容されている貯蔵酒に関する情報(原料の産地や種類など)、などが、一般情報32bとして取り扱われる。
General information 32b is information that can be accessed by all users, including those who are not employees of the manufacturer, but is information that is intended to be provided specifically at the manufacturing plant. For example, general information 32b about storage containers includes information about storage containers and tanks (materials, year of manufacture, etc.), information about the stored liquor contained in the storage containers and tanks (place of origin and type of ingredients, etc.), etc., which are handled as general information 32b.
所定の情報端末40(スマートフォン、タブレット端末、および専用端末などである。)によって二次元コード5を読み取ると、インターネットNを介して、当該情報端末40によるデータベース31へのアクセスが可能になる。このときアクセス可能になるのは、データベース31に保持されている収容体情報32のうち、読み取られた二次元コード5に関連付けられているユニークIDによって特定される収容体についての収容体情報32である。
When the two-dimensional code 5 is read by a specific information terminal 40 (such as a smartphone, tablet terminal, or dedicated terminal), the information terminal 40 can access the database 31 via the Internet N. At this time, the container information 32 stored in the database 31 that can be accessed is the container information 32 for the container identified by the unique ID associated with the read two-dimensional code 5, out of the container information 32 stored in the database 31.
情報端末40によるアクセスが許可される収容体情報32の範囲の制限について、第一の実施形態と同様である。すなわち、使用者の認証を求める方法、管理者とそれ以外の者とで使用するアプリケーションを分ける方法、二次元コード5と不可視印字6とでアクセス先を分ける方法、などを使用できる。
The scope of the container information 32 that is permitted to be accessed by the information terminal 40 is restricted in the same manner as in the first embodiment. In other words, methods that can be used include requesting user authentication, separating applications used by administrators and others, separating access destinations based on the two-dimensional code 5 and the invisible print 6, and so on.
